Each year, Port St. Lucie Rotary presents scholarships to outstanding high school seniors in St. Lucie County. The scholarships are made possible by fund raisers and donations. In 2017, Port St. Lucie Rotary will be making 2 scholarship awards to high school seniors who reside in Port St. Lucie and who live the 3 basic principles of Rotary International: service above self (community service is emphasized), dependability, and leadership.

Each scholarship is in the amount of $1,500.00.

The members of Port St. Lucie Rotary hope that upon graduation from college, all scholarship recipients will feel compelled to give back to their community, just as they were helped. To learn more about this program, please see the subjects listed below.
